Since Yahoo made some changes in there IMAP servers, sailfish mail-client fails to retrieve messages. (Sending mails with smtp server works). If you delete your Yahoo account, you will not be able to create it again with IMAP, just with POP. The reason is the IMAP authentication needs to be "plaintext", automatic selection seems not to detect it. I could fix this problem in Claws-mail desktop-client switching the imap authentication from "automatic" to "plaintext". (note the difference between "PLAIN" and "plaintext") In sailfish mail-client you cannot manualy choose this setting, so my request: please add the possibility to access more detailed server settings.
